Mi Sol Community of Owners----Annual General Meeting

Held on 30th September 2000 At Club Mi Sol Torrevieja

The meeting convened of 148 members present. The president expressed condolences to the family of the late Ted Curruthers who had served as a committee member for many years. The meeting continued with the following agenda.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FOR ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 1999.

The minutes were read out in Spanish and English at the request of the meeting. Brian Worswick objected to item 5 of the minutes, which stated that the meeting had voted unanimously against the Aquagest vote and not for it which had been the case.

A letter from Simon Edgington dated 8th November 1999 was read out making the same objection to item 5 of the minutes, but went on to state "If the Aguagest quote emerged as not being as favourable as presented at the A.G.M, the committee had been given mandate to explore the best deal for Mi Sol." As a point of order it stated that

" The minutes of an A.G.M. should accurately reflect the proceeding of that meeting, Not decisions made at a later date."

The president was asked why he decided to proceed with an alternative quote to Aguagest. He explained that the quote eventually accepted included both replacements of the water and sewerage systems.

A Spanish member commented that such a change of mind should have been agreed by an E.G.M. He was reminded that the committee had mandate to pursue the best deal from the A.G.M. '99.

Fernando enquired whether it would be possible for us to save money by having Aquagest adopt our new installation and issue us with individual contracts. It was explained that this was not clear at present.

The minutes were approved with the correction to item 5 being published in these a.g.m. 2000 minutes with a vote counted FOR 100, AGAINST 23, ABSTAIN,3

Denuncias of illegal Buildings

The town hall has stopped construction on some buildings of Kitchens and Toilets. Mi Sol is waiting for the town hall to grant permissions.

Troubles with the previous manager.

Ramona the previous administrator is holding Mi Sol Documents pending payment of fees.

Objections were noted about a cheque of 72000 PTAs drawn on Mi Sol's account ONLY with only her signature, cashed in her hometown branch.

Her argument is that the president was not authorised to dismiss her. Only an AGM.

She therefore believes her fee of 504000 PTAs is due dated from the period that she was dismissed by the president, until agm99. Mi Sol has two options. (A) Pay the money to recover the papers. (B)Leave her to pursue Mi Sol if she wishes and forget about the papers. The question was asked, How important are the papers. The president answered that we have copies of everything given to Ramona during his administration. No important papers are being held. The meeting voted unanimously not to pay 504000 PTAs for papers, which we can manage without.

ANY OTHER BUISINESS
